Embodiment 1

[0069] The preparation of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) through-hole membrane comprises the following steps:

[0070] First, the S1813 photoresist was spin-coated on the silicon wafer substrate, the spin-coating speed was 3000rpm, the spin-coating time was 40s, and the spin-coating thickness was 1 μm. Then, it was baked and cured at 115° C. for 90 s. Afterwards, a UV lithography machine (SUSS MA6) is used for pan exposure, and the pan exposure time is 9s, and a photoresist layer with sufficient chain scission can be obtained.

[0071] The prepared photoresist layer is subjected to surface O in a glue remover. 2 Plasma treatment, O 2 The flow rate is 30sccm, the radio frequency power is 30w, and the processing time is 2min. Then, spin-coat the PDMS film layer on the surface of the treated photoresist layer, wherein the PDMS glue solution that is spin-coated is SYLGARD 184 produced by Dow Corning. This product is a package product composed of PDMS prepolymer and curing agent. ...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the crossing field of combining micro-nano machining with life science and particularly relates to a sperm sorting device. The sperm sorting device provided by the invention comprises a semen cavity and a semen inflow channel communicating with a semen storage cavity; the semen cavity is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity by a horizontally arranged PDMS through hole membrane; the lower cavity is the semen storage cavity; the upper cavity is a semen recovery cavity; and the PDMS through hole membrane is prepared by micro-nano machining. For the sperm sorting device provided by the invention, a filter membrane adopted by the sperm sorting device is the PDMS through hole membrane prepared by a micro-nano machining technology, and the thickness, the pore diameter, the uniformity and the porosity of the PDMS through hole membrane prepared by the method are highly controllable, so that the sperm sorting device provided by the invention can realize greatimprovement on the sperm recovery efficiency through a mode of increasing the porosity of the arranged PDMS through hole membrane.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the intersecting field of combining micro-nano processing and life sciences, and in particular relates to a sperm sorting device. Background technique [0002] According to the 2010 "China Infertility Status Survey Report", in China, the incidence rates of infertility for men and women for one year, two years and ten years are 10%, 15% and 25% respectively. It is already close to the average infertility rate of 15% to 20% in developed countries, and infertile couples tend to be younger. The youngest age for consultation is 23 years old, and the oldest age is 40 years old. The main cause of male infertility is low sperm count, often associated with low sperm motility and impaired sperm function, resulting in an inability to fertilize oocytes naturally. Of all the assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) available, intraplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has emerged as a powerful tool in the management of male factor infertility. ...
